I think the reason your emblems are different is because you have one of the limited paintjobs. The emblems on mine are the same as pretty much every other Softail Custom. I really like the color of your bike. Those colors look great together.

 

snowmass,
I really like the look and feel of the bike stock as well. I'm gonna try to keep the overall style of the bike when I customize it, but I gotta do something to make it stand out from the crowd. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna hang on to that stock seat, though. That seat feels amazing. That's the first stock seat I've liked and didn't want to change it out right away. I can ride all day on that seat and not feel a thing. And I think it looks as good as it feels.

 

 

My wife feels the same way. I askedone of the parts guysat the dealership if there were any taller sissy bars available, and he said I wasn't the first to ask and no there isn't a taller one available. If you want a different sissy bar, you have to get a new seat, which sucks. I did see in a catalog there are sissy bar pads that strap on. I was thinking about getting a small one and seeing if I could strap it on above the seat. I believe they were somewhere around $40. I don't know when I'll get around to ordering one, though. I have a lot of other parts higher up on the list, and the Mrs says I've spent too much money here recently. So I guess I'll have to wait a while.

 

Nice bike Live2Ride!! That is the one I almost bought until I saw the Blue & Black in person. I had a gentleman yesterday ask me where I got my seat, he said man it looks comfy. I said yes it is and it came on the bike.

 

I still haven't seen one of the blue and black in person, but the pic looks outstanding. Back in spring I had a hard time findingone in deep cobalt, but I finally did - it was still in the crate at a dealerabout 3 hours from here.I'm sure most people thinktheirs was the best looking bike on the showroom.Minenever got there.I love "the blues".

I've always liked black Harleys. My Deuce was black before I had it painted. However, this time I got a black bike with every intention of painting it at some point. So I figured I would save the money and get the cheapest color, rather than one of the more expensive colors. Lately, though, I've started thinking about keeping it black. I guess it will depend on what my bike looks like after I get some of the other stuff put on it. I'll have to see what kinda of vision I can get for it. I've also been a fan of the blues. My first bike, a '01 1200C, was luxury rich blue and diamond ice (blue and silver), and you see I had my Deuce painted blue. I really like the blue and black color combo this year and I might would have gotten that color, but my dad just bought a '08 Ultra in that color and we ride together a lot. So I didn't want to have matching bikes. As far as the Custom goes, I think I like all the colors. I could see myself riding any of them. It's just a damn nice lookin' bike.

 

Hi guys, here's a picture of mine, got it a few days ago. Have only done 140 kms on it, still breaking it in. Completely stock at the moment but gotV & H Big Radius pipes coming this month.
It livesbeside the Triumph Speed Triple (my other baby) in the garage, haven't heard them fighting yet!

 

Welcome to the "Custom Club" and ya picked a winner there. Like the color combination, but I still think black is best.

Hmmm, a triple in the same garage as a Hog, hope they don't get together and have offspring.
Gonna make for some strange looking mini bikes.
